Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

IOU Distance - Part of the address in the address field is removed when the address is long

What is the root cause of that problem?

We're limiting the address text input length here, so when the address is longer than CONST.FORM_CHARACTER_LIMIT which is 50 characters, we couldn't see the rest of it.

App/src/pages/iou/WaypointEditor.js

Line 208 in 1b63c76

maxInputLength={CONST.FORM_CHARACTER_LIMIT}

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

1. We can add a bigger length limit for the text input of AddressSearch instead of 50 characters, it can be 100, 200 I think.
2. We can remove the maxInputLength.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

This is due to the character limitation to on the text box, rather than a bug. I don't think there is a real-life need to extend the number of characters we are showing. Whether it looks cut-off I think depends on how the font size set on the device. Using a Google Pixel 22 with default settings, it looks like this:
